*Bricked After BIOS Update*

Hello,

I was doing system maintenance and saw the available BIOS update on the Razer Support page. After reaching 100% the system turned off and now it has a black screen and lit keyboard. It is a Razer Blade 15 base 2020.

Razer won't warranty it because it came from a reseller on Amazon, even though it was fulfilled by Amazon and the warranty policy posts Amazon as an authorized retailer.

Anyone have any solutions?

It almost seems like they purposely brick systems to generate repair revenue.

I got the same issue today. I updated my bios and now it's just a black screen. I have a Razer Blade Pro 17 Early 2020.
Could anyone help us??

If you have warranty - RMA it. If not - it's possible to replace BIOS chip with a new (and coded one) not every computer shop can do it, because it require soldering.

You can always try to dissasembly bottom case, and unplug BIOS battery, then try to run Blade without it.
